例句
Is there not a point where a doctor should hand Jack the Ripper over to the police and a lawyer refuse to suppress the bloodstained evidence that proves his client a torturer? 難道醫生就不應該將殺人者傑克(殘害婦女的兇犯)送交警察,律師就不應該拒絕掩蓋血跡斑斑的罪證,出來指證他的當事人是殘害他人的兇手嗎?
Torture always dehumanizes both the torturer and his victim. 嚴刑拷打往往使施刑者和受刑者都喪失人性。
